Hosea 5:6Catholic Public Domain VersionWith their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them. See the chapter |
Whoever immolates an ox, it is as if he slaughters a man. Whoever sacrifices a sheep, it is as if he is smashing the head of a dog. Whoever offers an oblation, it is as if he is offering swine's blood. Whoever makes remembrance with incense, it is as if he is blessing an idol. All these things, they have chosen according to their own ways, and their soul has taken delight in their own abominations.
